A.N. Salutations. Thanks to Forest Bug, Guest, DomiHearts1497, and charliesunshine for reviewing. To Forest Bug, I didn't think it was a flame. Flames just say its horrible, but your's didn't say only that. By the way, my last chapter was not my best (by far) so please don't judge me by just that.

Disclaimer: I'm too tired for this.


Thresh POV

"So, are you going to join our alliance?"

The Careers had just asked me to join their group.

I knew it was a big deal, but I wouldn't be able to consent without regretting it. I also knew that if I refused, I would immediately become a target.

If I agreed, my family, and my district, would be disappointed in me for joining with people like them. I would be seen as just like them by the viewers, and I would be labeled like that for all time.

If I disagreed, though, it could be dangerous. The Careers might be skilled with weapons, but they weren't good at controlling anger. It would be singling myself out.

I weighed the pros and cons quickly before responding.

"No."

With one word, I had changed from a possible Career to one of the top targets.

I never regretted it.


A.N. You guys are lucky I love this. I'm supposed to be asleep, but that's not the real problem; I'm so tired! Please review!
